Alexander Dallin Knihy

This collection of over fifty top-secret letters are drawn from classified Soviet archives only recently opened to scholars. The letters offer unique insight into Soviet foreign policy and Stalin's attitudes and intentions during the Great Terror of the 1930's and the years leading up to the Second World War. They confirm the dependence of Comintern on the Kremlin and Stalin's role in shaping it. They also shed light on the confusion about policies toward foreign Communist parties and the effect this had on the history of the twentieth century.

Focusing on Soviet and Russian history, this collection features classic essays by Alexander Dallin, offering deep insights into pivotal issues such as Stalin's WWII leadership, the dynamics of U.S.-Russian relations during the Reagan era, and the multifaceted causes behind the USSR's collapse. Dallin critiques simplistic explanations, emphasizing the intricate relationships between internal and external factors, institutions, and leadership. This work serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of Soviet and post-Soviet history.
